LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- State officials recently said Kentucky had more than 80,000 unresolved unemployment claims, and some of those applicants doubt they'll see that money anytime soon.
In addition to a stimulus check that should come sometime in the new year, jobless Americans are expecting to get an additional $300 in unemployment. Dave Holstner, one of the thousands of unemployed Kentuckians struggling to make ends meet, can't wait for the help.
"It was kind of rough this holiday," Holstner said. "It's Christmas though so more about it than that."
Holstner said he filed for unemployment back in April after losing his job and was told he was eligible for about $500 a week, but since then, he has not seen a dime.
